The Red Patch quilt is finished. I have really enjoyed the fabric play for this quilt, combining the many different reds which all work together surprisingly well. This quilt also includes some fabrics by talented Australian designers, including Susie from FlowerPress, Kristen Doran, and Shannon Lamden from Aunty Cookie.

The back of the quilt features an amazing fabric by Saffron Craig, another great Australian fabric designer passionate about creating unique and contemporary fabrics. Printed in red and orange "Owls Nesting" works well on the back of this quilt, and not only makes an impressive and unique quilt back, but also makes this a truly reversible quilt.

This quilt has been quilted with simple straight vertical lines 1.5 inches apart and bound with a red and white stripe fabric. I have again chosen to use the 100% cotton batting as it gives the quilt a lovely drape and doesn't over emphasise the quilting, thereby allowing the fabrics to shine through.

NOTE: This quilt was sold and sent to Italy - unfortunately it never arrived at its destination. Please, if you see this quilt for sale, or anywhere else, please notify me at redpepperquilts@gmail.com

After 2 1/2 months of missing in action, the parcel landed back on my veranda, undamaged and unopened. It remained uncollected in Italy for exactly 2 months and was then returned to sender, arriving back in Oz just 6 days after being sent back.

Hi, I love the Red Patch quilt. I am just starting to collect REDS for my stash in hopes of having enough to make a red quilt by next Christmas. I saved this particular post in the bloglines so I'd have a great example when time comes to get started! Thanks for sharing your work with us!

This is lovely! Like Deb I'm collecting red and orange fabrics and this quilt is just exactly the kind of effect I hope to end up with. And I'm so glad it found its way back home too, what a shame it would have been if it were permanently gone.
